Independence Realty Trust, Inc. IRT

Their portfolio is concentrated in non-gateway U.S. markets such as Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, and Raleigh. The company's strategy involves establishing a strong presence in select, amenity-rich submarkets, which are identified by features like excellent school systems, quality retail establishments, and significant employment hubs. Ultimately, IRT seeks to deliver appealing risk-adjusted returns to its shareholders. This is accomplished through meticulous portfolio oversight, robust operational execution, and a reliable return on capital, generated via both dividend distributions and asset value appreciation.

Plain-English: the Snapshot is the quick read — what it pays you (yield, dividend), how its cash flow looks (FFO/AFFO, Price/OCF) and how much debt it carries. Switch to Expert in the header to hide these explanations.
Snapshot
Reported FFO / Core FFO / leverage are from the Q1 2026 earnings release (filed 2026-04-29) — 8-K, EX-99.1 ✓ Verified to filing.
Yield uses the latest declared dividend, annualized (latest regular payout × frequency; special/liquidating distributions excluded) — an announced-but-not-yet-declared change isn't reflected until it has an ex-date. FFO, AFFO and Net debt / Adj. EBITDA are the company's reported figures from its latest earnings 8-K. Price/OCF and payout use GAAP operating cash flow. NAV premium and credit ratings have no free source yet. See Methodology.
